The challenges you face daily influence how you see and feel about yourself, which in turn impacts your relationships with yourself and others. With patience and expertise, Rozhin assists her clients in learning how to manage and adapt to these changes.

We specialize in providing psychological testing, neuropsychological evaluations, and neurodevelopmental assessments and provide diagnostic clarity, referrals, resources, and treatment plans.

Psychological testing can help to clarify between different diagnoses (e.g., ADHD vs Anxiety), provide answers about general difficulties you or your child may be having, and be used for schools to help accommodate you or your child’s needs. We help you better understand your strengths and identify areas of support. Furthermore, we specialize in pre-surgical evaluations (e.g., bariatric, reconstructive, etc.) and work directly with surgeons to optimize outcomes.

I believe that every person's life is affected by the circumstances and individuals surrounding them. We live in a world that is interconnected. Thus, it is through understanding those connections and influences that we can find peace and meaning in our lives. Whether you are a youth, young adult, elder, lover, loner, or anything in between. You have a life story that is being created around you. Those who take action in their life find the most happiness. It is up to you to either sit back or take an active role in its creation.

Do you experience stress/anxiety/panic/uncertainty/difficulty making decisions? Do you often worry about what others think of you/ replay conversations or events long after they have ended? Do you come up with plans that excite you; only to later talk yourself out of their pursuit? Do you look forward to an event, finding that once you are there you cannot wait for it to be over? Does your child experience stomach aches that have no medical basis or become rude when in social situations? Do you find your relationship patterns eerily mimicking those of your childhood? Are you enduring life's experiences rather than enjoying them?

You think you're handling things, but then somewhere along the way, you've lost your grip. You can't sleep, you can't calm yourself down, and it seems like everyday stress deeply impacts you. You've tried but you can't reason with your thoughts. You know they're dark, or dramatic, or too anxious, but you can't seem to stop the cycle. Maybe it's impacting you internally only. Maybe it's affecting your work. Maybe you're losing friendships or relationships because of the emotions that take over so easily. It's exhausting. Whatever the case, you know it's time for help. Surely somebody knows the way out of this mess.

I have had success treating the middle aged female, 40-60, with relational, launching, re-entry and life change issues. I also integrate biofeedback of various types into the treatment program in order to either avoid or minimize medication interventions, when appropriate. I search diligently the patient's medical history and symptoms, and work with local medical providers, to rule out general medical conditons that may be driving psychological symptoms, e.g. hypothyroid and depression, or adrenal issues and anxiety or depression. Anxiety can be treated with biofeedback interventions and I provide in-office treatment and take home devices.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Are you feeling depressed or anxious? Are you struggling to gain control in life? Perhaps you are trying to manage a better relationship with food. Or it could be a daily challenge to maintain your sobriety. Maybe you find yourself in a relationship that lacks the sexual intimacy you crave. I have successfully helped many people like you overcome the obstacles that keep them trapped in cycles that are ineffective. I provide a safe and empathetic environment in which you can discuss things that are painful, challenging and personal.
